Though a short question as regards forfeiture of the bond furnished by the appellant in terms of Section 107 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973¹[Hereinafter also referred to as ‘CrPC’ or ‘the Code’.] and the amount payable thereunder is involved in this matter but, having regard to its implications, we deem it appropriate to dilate on the relevant aspects in necessary details.
